Practice Ideology
El Sindicato Arquitectura, founded in September 2014, by Xavier Duque, Maria Reinoso, and Nicolás Viteri, is an experimental collective that works in the realms of architectural design, construction, urban intervention, and beyond.
As founding partners, they never advocate the ‘employer-employee’ hierarchies and started with their independent venture to work for themselves.
They perceive ‘Architecture’ being a trade of sorts that could be mastered by practicing and thus are in continuous search for creating, teaching, and learning about spaces.
